1-4Introduction Stripe, chunk—Contiguous set of data distributed across all thedisks in an array. A striped array distributes data evenly acrossall members in equal-sized sections called stripes. Free or available space—Space on an initialized disk that is notin use. Partition—Contiguous area of a physical drive that makes upsome or all of an array. Hotspare, failover disk—A hard drive, an array member, that isnot used in day-to-day data storage, but is instead reserved foruse as a replacement for one of the other drives in the array inthe event of a failure.ConventionsThis section discusses conventions important to the interface. Case sensitivity—CLI syntax elements are not case-sensitiveexcept for strings. Command abbreviations—You can abbreviate commands,subcommands, and switches. You must provide enoughcharacters so the commands are not ambiguous. Subcommand Mode—Subcommand mode simplifiescommand entry when you are performing repetitive commandson the same item. Subcommand mode works only forcommands that have one or more subcommands.To enter subcommand mode, type the first part of any commandthat has subcommands and press Enter. The command you enteredreplaces the CLI> prompt and becomes the first part of anysubsequent command you enter.For example, to use subcommand mode for the array command:1 Type array at the CLI> prompt, and press Enter.The CLI> prompt changes to _array >.2 Enter valid subcommands, switches, and parameters for anyarray command and press Enter. For example, to change thenumber of array 1 to 2, simply type the following at the _array> prompt and press Enter:move 1 2
